Cultivation methods of red-leaf Nandina
1. Soil

1. Soil

Cultivation of red-leafed nandina requires deep, fertile, loose soil. The slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus is more suitable for its growth.

2. Light

It likes a moist environment and can be cultured indoors in a ventilated and bright place. But it needs direct sunlight in autumn, which will make the leaves redder.

3. Temperature

It is resistant to high temperatures and severe cold. It is best to control the temperature at 16-25°C in summer, spring and autumn, but if the summer temperature exceeds 30°C during the seedling stage, it needs to be cooled appropriately, otherwise it will not be conducive to its growth. In winter, it can be controlled at around 10℃.

4. Watering

It is tolerant of moisture and drought. The requirements for watering are not strict, but it is not suitable for water accumulation. Just water it when it is dry or wet. The temperature is low in winter, and when the red-leafed nandina enters dormancy, attention must be paid to water control.

5. Fertilization

It likes fertilizer, especially a large amount of phosphate and potassium fertilizers. It is not suitable to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the branches will be too thin and it will be difficult to red leaves.
